Wilson Cheung EE 310 Experiment 3 Formal Report Introduction In this lab, we were to design a power supply based on a set of criteria. These were having the power supply have 120V 60Hz AC input and outputting -15V DC with a 0.5 V tolerance. In order to simplify the design process, the circuit was broken down into the following sections: Power Transformer, Rectifier, Filter Capacitor, and Voltage Regulator. It was also required to have the nominal voltage into the regulator be -24V DC, have a maximum ripple voltage of 3.6v (15%) at the regulator input, and be rated to provide 1w to the load. Components were used that were rated to operate twice the calculated values. Circuit Design Power Transformer- 12:1:1 Center Tapped Transformer.

The first was a Zener Diode regulator using any of the diodes. The second was an IC regulator using any of the IC’s.

However, the transformer does have a small internal winding resistance which must be taken into account. Figure 2 12:1:1 transformer connected to 120 Vrms source with output VAB = 10 Vrms, VBC = 10 Vrms, and VAC = 20 Vrms. Rectifier The input to the voltage regulator needed to be -24 V so the output must have been greater or equal to this. The power transformer we chose to use will provide 20 Vrms or about 28.3 Vp. Figure 3 The maximum voltage at Vout is the peak AC voltage minus the voltage across any diodes that are on. There are going to be two diodes on that can be represented by a constant voltage drop of VD = 1 V. Since the peak AC voltage is 28.3 V, this gives a maximum Vout of 26.3 V. RL should be absorbing 1 watt which will require a resistance of 576 Ω. Also, since we want a negative voltage, setting the positive terminal as ground will give us the negative output. Filter Capacitor We needed to reduce the ripple voltage to meet the specifications of the power supply. This was done by adding a capacitor in parallel with RL. Since C and Vr are inversely related using the largest allowable Vr (3.6v) will give us our smallest possible C value of 105.7 µF. A 100 µF capacitor will give an average Vout of -24.5 V which is much closer to the desired Vc than it would be if using the 220 µF. Supporting Analysis Power Transformer 12:1:1 Transformer means Vin/12 = VAB/1 = VBC/1 -> VAB = VBC = 120Vrms/12 = 10 Vrms VAC = VAB + VBC = 10 Vrms + 10 Vrms = 20 Vrms Rectifier Vpeak = Vrms * √2= 20 * √ 2= 28.28 Vpeak Vout max = Vpeak – 2 * VD = 28.3 V – 2 * 1 V = 26.3 V RL = (VRL)2/PRL = (Vc)2/PRL = (-24 V)2/ 1 W = 576 Ω PIV = Vpeak = 28.28 V Voltage Regulator Filter Capacitor Data Power Transformer When measuring the open circuit voltages of the power transformer we found that VOC of AB was 9.9 Vrms, VOC of BC was 9.9 Vrms, and VOC of AC was 20.4 Vrms. By connecting a 432 Ω test resistor across AC and measuring a Vtest of 20.15 we were able to calculate the internal winding resistance to be 2.68 Ω. Rectifier After finding the internal resistance of the transformer was known we built and connect the rectifier portion of the circuit. Once the circuit was built we connected it to the oscilloscope to ensure that the rectifier was working correctly. Figure 4 The circuit was able to rectify the AC input to our -27 V DC component. Since there is no filter capacitor installed, the voltage has an ripples. Figure 5 From the measurements in the figure, the ripple voltage at VC is max – min = 4.2 V. When comparing this voltage to the input from the transformer, the rectifier and filter capacitor were converting the AC source into DC. Figure 6 There is still some ripple so next we attach the voltage regulator. Figure 7 The ripple voltage has practically been eliminated by using this regulator. The graphs for the waveforms from the regulator with and without a load attached were the same. When measured with the DMM, the open circuit voltage was -14.92 V while the voltage across the load was -14.73. This gave us a % regulation of 1.27%. Discussion The output of both voltage regulators stayed well within this range for a variety of different loads. For the voltage into the regulator input, the specification was -24 V while in our circuit it ranged from -23.6 V to -27.8V with the ripple. With a maximum ripple of 3.6 V, the voltage into the regulator falls in the specified range. For the ripple, the input at Vc had a ripple of 4.2 V which was a little high. This is most likely caused from using a filter capacitor that was slightly smaller than the calculated value. This can easily be corrected by using the next larger size capacitor. All of the components that were selected to be used were rated for conditions well over what would be seen in the circuit. Summary and Conclusion This experiment gave an insight on how to convert AC power to DC power. This is useful as a lot of electrical devices have a circuit. The input 120 V AC and being able to convert that to DC allows us to work with a wider range of inputs when designing a circuit. Voltage regulators can be helpful when working with components that are sensitive to fluctuations. This shows another method of creating a buffer circuit other than the op-amp buffer circuit.
